OUR BLOG HAS MOVED!

We've folded our blog into our main web site! Don't worry, we're still around for all your Japanese street fashion needs - in fact, we're only growing! For all new information, please visit us at https://www.tokyorebel.com and click on the blog/news link.

Editors' note: all week long, we're running a series of store tours showcasing the brands we carry and how they present themselves in Japan. We're doing this to promote our brands and the fashion in general, and also because it's fun. It's rare for anyone to be allowed to film inside a Japanese brand boutique. We do hope that after seeing these reports, you'll buy clothes from us sometime through our main web site.

PUTUMAYO's flagship stores, the PUTUMAYO street shop and PUTUMAYO lay Aguglieria, are within blocks of each other in Harajuku. The former is on Takeshita Dori, the latter just off of it. However, they're both just past the main pedestrian area where most of the crowds gather, so if you don't keep walking (past Meiji Dori), you might turn off before seeing them.

The images below are a bit smaller than the ones we've been posting, just because there's so many of them this time - but you can still click any image to get a 640 pixel wide view. (We still like using inline images rather than gallery style for blog posts, though we'll be posting all of these to our main site photo gallery soon.)

The PUTUMAYO street shop is all sleek white and black - the clothes do most of the talking.

We actually have many of the items pictured in the two shots above - not all have made it to our web site yet. Soon, hopefully!

Cat bag! Also, tons of accessories. You'll be seeing that a lot, as it's one of PUTUMAYO's specialties.

See those parasols? They're all ours now. Alice-themed. Also, we've got the card suit wallet chains too. If you're local, you can pick 'em up now. We'll work on posting them to our site soon.

Another of the shop staff, wearing more of a punk style. We've currently got that skirt/leg cover set in red.

This is the PUTUMAYO lay Aguglieria store. It has a warmer, more classic feel than the main store. If you can believe it, the main idea is that this store focuses more on accessories!

PUTUMAYO is a select shop, like many Japanese brand stores. They carry Lumiebre parasols and handkerchiefs in this store.

Wish we could lay accessories out in the open like this in our store! This is very common in Japan (as you've seen), but almost suicidal for a store in New York to do.

More accessories...

Still more accessories!

This t-shirt is a PUTUMAYO lay Aguglieria store exclusive. But not anymore! We have it in several colors (including the one pictured above).

More accessories!

Some of you may remember seeing the image from the poster above on our blog previously. That photo was shot right there. That's the same rabbit. Same bench. Same plant. (Different table.)

The popular pocket watches. PUTUMAYO's got these spread around all over their stores. We have these too.

That's about it! We hope you've enjoyed seeing these two stores, as well as all the ones we've posted up to this point. Check out the PUTUMAYO product page on our site, and watch for new items to start showing up there soon. We've got a lot of stuff we just haven't had time to post yet.

Upcoming Order Schedule

The following is our approximate schedule for future orders we plan to place with our brands, subject to change at any time. If you are interested in special ordering an item, you can use this as a guide for when to order. We recommend ordering 1-2 weeks in advance. Please email us to start a special order.
